A bit of turnover, as you can see.

 

I believe Neil Armstrong is from here (or close by).

You can always go there for fun once or twice a year.

 

FWIW I know the guy leaving and it's not anything to do with the paper. Just headed for greener pastures.

 

They get Ohio State press passes, or have in the past, so a chance to get clips there. Some of the best small high school sports in the country are played in this area. An absolute prep sports haven.

Armstrong went to high school there.

 

Because those Ohio State gamers will get you a job somewhere else.
